When you see “why,” the “hows” get easier. That’s the power of neuroscience.

When audiences understand why creativity can be elusive, why teams get stuck, why work feels so different these days – they open their minds to HOW to lead change.

My brain-aware approach activates your team, conference attendees, or workshop partcipants to “think different” about what blocks engagement, progress, and success. That gets them excited about the change that’s possible – and clear on how to create it.

“Ellen ignites “Aha!” moments that teams can take home and put to work. We can’t wait to invite her back.”

My most popular keynotes and workshops span themes of creativity and innovation, culture, Psychological Safety, and managing change – all grounded in science that shifts thinking and builds engagement.

Yet principles of neuroscience expand understanding of any topic. Your conference, Summit, training: whatever the team, whatever the theme, the point is to activate new ways of succeeding. That’s what I’m here for. Let’s build together.
